-Both teams went 6-3 in the other's ballparks-Orioles are undefeated this year when leading a game late. Conversely, I think the Yankees are like 1-55 when trailing late; in fact, their first and only win came in game 161 against Boston-Orioles are 17-2 in extra innings. Those two losses were against the Yankees-Camden Yards is often considered a second home park for the Yankees since it frequently fills with Yankees fans. This is due to it being cheaper to go there, travel included, than Yankee Stadium-O's manager Buck Showalter has twice had a team win a World Series the year immediately following his firing. The first were the 1997 Yankees, famous for the 1997 ALCS where the Jeffrey Maier incident occurred against the O's-Before they were the New York Yankees, the team was called the New York Highlanders. Before that? The Baltimore Orioles.-Babe Ruth, the player that ushered in the Yankees century of success, grew up in Baltimore

Bottom line, these two teams are intricately intertwined, both this season and throughout history.As a Yankees fan, I'm sick of their faces.

I doubt we'll see as many Yankees fans in Baltimore for the next two games. Orioles fans have been swarming back to the Yard recently, and being able to host two playoff games will leave many who travel needing to be there today if they want a shot at a seat.

Yeah, plus the tickets were sold through season ticket holders and by lottery before anyone even knew who the opponent would be.

The Bestest:lets go ahead and collect the facts for the people asking:

nice. i grew up in the 703 (so i'm kind of a big deal)....but seriously, i never got into baseball until i moved to the tri-state. i love what buck has done with the o's while still thinking angelos is a giant douche.

Congratulations, Baltimore. Well done on your route of the Rangers last night. You most certainly deserve to go to the ALCS and maybe even the Series. I hope you guys go all the way.Love,A gigantic Texas Rangers fan who is royally pissed at them right now.

Hopefully Angelos realizes after this season that putting a winning team on the field will make him more money than continuously putting out losers and raking in the MASN cash. I have my fingers crossed.

The Nationals put together a contender and Angelos profits in perpetuity. I'm an Os fan but this bothers me a lot.

The only way for Angelos to not make money is for MASN to fail. He took that page from Steinbrenner and the YES network. It's one of the reasons Orioles fans can never hope to be rid of him until he dies.

Well they'll get an immediate chance to win a home game, something they failed to do in three tries in the 1996 series. But it was all Jeffrey Maier's fault. It definitely wasn't Mike Mussina falling apart in the 8th inning of Game 3. It certainly wasn't Rocky Coppinger somehow being worse than Kenny Rogers in Game 4. And by no means was it Scott Erickson giving up six runs (aided by a Roberto Alomar error) in the 3rd inning of Game 5.
